burg concern with offices In this city
shot and instantly killed his former
partner William J Mallard Jc and Al
bert Hamilton a wealthy Pittsburg glass
manufacturer who recently bought his
Interest In the Climax company and
then turned the weapon on himself
For a ull half minute before killing
himsalf Turner held his smoking pistol
at the head of Mr Adams who had been
pre33nt at a conference between tho
men as the representative of Mr Mcln
tyre who was In court The murlerer
was uncertain whether to kill Adams or
not Mr Adams made an appeal for his
life the result of which was that Tur
ner waved him out of the office and then
by self destruction completed his awful
program
The escape of Mr Mclntyre was sheer
luck He had promised Turner on
Thursday night that ho would be on
hand Turners lnslstencethat Mclntyre
be present is taken as an indication that
he meant to kill him too Mr Mclntyre
was In the supreme court appearing as
counsel for the Metropolitan Street Rail
way Company in a damage suit before
Justice Dugro
Prepared for Slaughter
To his detention there he owes his
life for Turner went to his office for

charge of the papers of the Climax com
pany
Leventrltt and Goodman lied at the
first shot and Adams was cornered by
the murderer after Mallard and Hamil
ton had been stretched dead on the floor
Only his ardent appeal for life the Jus
tice of which seemed to appeal to Turn
er saved him From first to last there
was no Interference with the murderer
The pistol was out and pointed at
Mallard for several seconds before the
first shot was fired Then Turner
went ahead calmly and picked out the
men whom he meant to kill
The dispiite which ended In todays
tragedy was over a sum of money which
as Mallard and Hamilton alleged had
been embezzled from the Climax Bottle
and Manufacturing Company by Turner
while he was Its president The com
pany was organized In Pittsburg by
Turner William J Mallard jr and a
Pittsburg man named Sheldon B Cable
Offices were opened in this city
Up to last April Turner remained
president of the companj In the last
few months of his Incumbency he and
Mallard had frequent disputes about tho
affairs of the concern
Mr Cable who had little part in the
disputes is said to have sided with Mr
Mallard However that may have been
a purchaser for Turners interest in the
company appeared In the psrsou of Al
bert Hamilton of 400 South Highland
Avenue Pltthburg a member of thf
firm of J T A Hamilton manu
facturers of glabs in that city Turner

What amount of bonus will be deliv

over J20000000
Some Prefer to Hold
What few bonds there are are held
cither by trust estates that would not
be released at any price or by those
who need neither the money nor the in
terest and prefer to hold the Govern
ment securities s soon as the Gov
ernment becomes a purchaser prices ad
vance Conditions which have made the
purchase of bonds advisable are by no
means local The September statement
revealed the fact that the banks of Lin
coln Neb which should have had 25 per
cent reserve had less than 19 per cent
and the banks of Des Moines which
should have had 21 per cent reserve had
less than 20 per cent While the money
for the bonds will go largely to Eastern
holders it will lery naturally find its
way Into all channels of trade
If the money situation which is grave
In the West as well as In New York
does not ease perceptibly under this
transaction the Government will again
appear in the market as a buyer
An official of the department said yes

to buy at least 50000000 of bonds and
It was his opinion that It ought to buy

WILKESBARRE Oct 17 President
Mitchell realizes that when he faces the
convention orthe mine workers on Mon
day he will be asked pertinently why It
13 that all the strikers will not get their
former places and why union men will
be required to work beside non union
workers
The3e are the two questlrns which
are it Is now known to cause the most
discussion at the convention and sev
eral of Jhe delegates who were elected
tonight are prepared to make a arm
protest against accepting the arbitra
tion proposition until it is definitely
knowa that all the mea will get wori
President Mitchell would not discuss
the question today Last night In his
messago to President Roosevelt he had
said
I will recommend that all men now
on strike return to the positions and
working places formerly occupied by
them
I have nothing more to say on the
mattir than this he said today
The Operators Explicit
The operators alfow no doubt to exist
as io their intentions They say firmly
that the seventeen thousand non union
mea whom they have now working will
be retained that there will bs no dis
crimination between- the union and non
union men that they VIH take bade all r
the union men they need and put them
In the places they are best suited for
They cannot say how many will not be
taken back
Strike leaders were asked If thli
would create trouble One said Trou
ble Yes and trouble In a bunch
District President Fahey said I
pass the whole thing up to the conven
tion
President Duffy would say nothing
Another leader saldi The union will
take care of the men who do not get
work They will not be deserted
The leaders are taking chances and
they are unable to see the end They
will send the men back to work acJ
they hope the situation will then adjust
itself They think some of -the non
union men will go away and mako places
for the strikers and that the operators
will want so many men in the rush to
mine coal that there will be places for
all
The non union men now at work have
the best places the richest chambers
They will retain them The first strik
ers to get back will have the next best
rnd those who are not able to retura
until the last will get the small po
tatoes or ro work The situation from
the strikers point of view does not
glow with victory and the cheers of the
first night hae been hushed
